Ustronia sloanei (d’Orbigny, 1842) | |
Ustronia sloanei is a species of an operculate land snail, terrestrial gastropod mollusk in the family Helicinidae. [1] [2]
Ustronia sloanei is a rock dwelling species. [2]
Predators of Ustronia sloanei include larvae of firefly bug Alecton discoidalis . [2]
Chondropoma is a genus of small operculate land snails, terrestrial gastropods in the subfamily Chondropomatinae of the family Annulariidae.
Oleacina is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Oleacinidae.
The Lampyrini are a tribe of fireflies in the large subfamily Lampyrinae. The lineage formerly separated as Pleotomini seems to be a specialized offshoot of the Lampyrini not too distant from the type genus Lampyris and is therefore included here. This tribe occurs throughout the Holarctic and contains the typical "glowing" or "continuous-light" fireflies from that region. Some otherwise very advanced Lampyrini, like species in Paraphausis and Pyrocoelia, have degenerated light-producing organs again and communicate primarily or even exclusively with pheromones like the ancestors of the fireflies did.
Alecton discoidalis is a species of firefly in the beetle family Lampyridae, commonly known as the Cuban endemic firefly. The larvae of this species are predators on both pulmonate and operculate land snails. Alecton discoidalis is the type species of the genus Alecton.

The Lamprocerini are a tribe of fireflies in the large subfamily Lampyrinae, though at least some Lamprocerini species are not bioluminescent in the adult stage. They are generally neotropical, found in North America only as vagrants.
Alecton is a genus of firefly in the beetle family Lampyridae. The species A. discoidalis is the best known of the four species in the genus. Alecton is believed to be endemic to Cuba.
